Pet Alien Heading to DS

Today, The Game Factory announced the signing of a worldwide publishing agreement with Taffy Entertainment to release a game for the Nintendo DS based on the CGI animated series, Pet Alien. The game is in development by Shin'en using its proprietary 3D Nintendo DS engine.

Currently airing around the world, Pet Alien deals with the trials and travails of twelve-year old Tommy's life as seen through the eyes of his five alien companions. Based on a property created by Jeff Muncy of John Doze Studios, the series is produced by Mike Young Productions, in conjunction with Moonscoop, Telegael, and Europool Germany.

The game is slated for release in Q2 2007 and features over 50 levels set inside a giant robotic spaceship. In the game players will take on the roles of all five Pet Aliens, each with its own unique abilities, as they struggle to rescue Tommy. The game also features 5 stylus-driven mini-games and bonus modes containing unlockable jukebox and photo gallery.

"We're excited to add Pet Alien, an out-of-this-world property, to our gaming product line" said Henrik Mathiasen of The Game Factory. "Just as we have done with all our global properties we look forward to adapting the series' signature style and humor into a multi-layered game that will entertain players of all ages"
